The post Forewarning That There’s No Reversibility Once We Reach AGI And AI Superintelligence appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Despite our best efforts, we might not be able to reverse out of AGI or ASI and we’ll be at a point … More of no return once they are attained. getty In today’s column, I address a popular myth that pinnacle AI will be reversible. It goes like this. If we can attain artificial general intelligence (AGI) or artificial superintelligence (ASI), and we don’t like it, all we need to do is reverse things and go back to conventional non-pinnacle AI. Period, end of story. Sorry to say that AGI and ASI are more akin to a one-way street. In other words, once we’ve landed on AGI or ASI, if we do, we will be unable to go back to a lesser semblance of AI. It would seem that we are inescapably heading toward a point of no return. Let’s talk about it. This analysis of an innovative AI breakthrough is part of my ongoing Forbes column coverage on the latest in AI including identifying and explaining various impactful AI complexities (see the link here). The Irreversibility Question In General I’d like you to take a contemplative moment and consider technologies that we might reasonably assess as being of an irreversible nature such that we cannot do away with it. The usual one that pops into people’s heads is that fire seems to be an irreversible invention. It is irreversible in the sense that we cannot sensibly survive without fire. There is little chance of waving a magic wand and everyone utterly agrees that fire will no longer ever be utilized. That’s a farfetched untenable contention. You might have some heartburn at the suggestion that humankind in fact invented fire. Some would say that’s giving undue credit to humanity. We found fire and opted to make good use of…
